l'UBLIC BUILDINGS.
The Opinion f Nolloltor OII!a-The Cats I
the rsaiirruie Conn.
To-morrow the agument in the cae involving
the erection of the public building at the in
tersection of Broad and Market streets will be
heard in the Supreme Court.
The following is the opinion of Fairmonnt
Park Bolititor Collis upon the subject, with the
endorsement of Hon. F. Carroll Brewster, Wil
liam D. Mann, Esq., and Hon. William M.
Meredith:
Philadelphia, October 21, 1870 lion.
Henry M. Phillips, Chairman of Commit ee,
Etc. Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknow
ledge the receipt ot the resolution passed by
the Committee of the Public Building CousmU
sioa, ot which yon are Chairman, which reso
lution is in the following words:
"liesolved, That the Solicitor be requested to
give his opinion on the legal questions involved
in selecting the particular site for the buildings
n Penn Square.
Having been present at the meeting of your
committee at which the resolution was passed,
I had a further opportunity of learning upon
what particular questions my opinion was de
sired. The act under which your commission is
created directs that you "locate the public
buildings on cither Washington Square or Penu
Square, as ay be ascertained by a voio of the
legally qualified electors of the city of Philadel
phia. A vote has been taken, and Peun Square
has been selected.
You are therefore required, wiihin thirty days
from the day of election (October 11, 1870), to
advertise for proposals for the erection of said
buildings upon Penn Square.
You have clearly the right to erect one, two,
three or four buildings upon either or all of, the
enclosures at Broad and Market streets; but tna
act seems to contemplate the erection of the
buildings at the intersection of Broad street
with Market street, for it provides that "In the
event of the ultimate selection of Ponn Square
as the site for said public buildings, the said
commission shall have authority and they are
hereby empowered to vacate so much of Market
and Broad streets as they may deem needful;
provided, however, that the. streets p.ts6lu
around laid building shall not be of less width
than one hundred feet."
The only condition is that the qualified electors
of the city of Philadelphia shall give their assent
thereto. After a full and free discussion of the
whole subject they have given their assent, aud
you are nw required to erect the public build
ings either upon one or more of the lour enclo
sures, or at the Intersection, the latter being the
location most clearly Indicated by the Act.
My attention has been invited to the act of
23d of Maicb, 1666, "Authorizing the improve
ment of Broad street," which prohibits the erec
tion of any obstructions npon that street, and it
Las been intimated that said act was declared un
constitutional by the Supreme Court, in the
recent ease of Hammett vs. The City (8 Am.
Law Reg. 411), commonly known as the Nlcol
sou Pavement Case.
By the provisions of that act, the city is "re
quired to occupy and appropriate slroad street
for its entire length, as it is now opened, or may
hereafter be opened, and from curb to enrb
thereof, for the uses and purposes of a public
drive, carriage-way, street, or avenue, and to
improve the said street or portions thereof from
time to time, aud in whole or iu part, witk such
mode of pavement, paving, nucadamizlug, gra
velling, or other roadway as may, in the judgment
of the Select and Common Council ot said
city, be the best adapted to aud tor the uses and
purposes aforesaid; and for that purpose the
said Councils shall have (power), and are hereby
authorized to enact such ordinances aud reso
lutions with such conditions and stipulations as
may require the cost of said improvements to
be paid for by the owners of properly abutting
upon saia street.
And the 4th section of the act creates aeon
tract between the Commonwealth aud the pro
perty owners in the following words: "That
upon me improvement oi saiu sireei, or any
uortion thereof, as provided in the lirot section
hereof, and iu eousideratiou of the payment of
the cost thereof by the owners of property
abutting thereupon as aforesaid, or upon and in
consideration of the contributions and payments
of the money agreed to be paid, or as ascer
tained by a jury as aforesaid, no person or per
sons, or corporations of any kind, nor the city
of Philadelphia, shall at any time hereafter be
authoiized or empowered to locate, lay, con
struct, or maintain any railroad or railway
tracks or other obstructions, prejudicial to the
ut es and purposes aforesaid, along or upon said
street or anv portion thereof."
Under the authority conferred by this act, the
Councils of the city of Philadelphia ordained on
July 5. 1807. "that tfce said carriage way trom
curb to curb, between Willow street and Co
lumbia avenue, shall be laid with the Nicolson
pavement 'the cost of said paving' "
(not exceeding four dollars per square yard)
"to be paid for by the owners of property abut
ting on said street."
I ron the completion of the pavement, certain
property holders declined to pay their propor
tionate cost mereoi, sou municipal liens were
filed against the properties of such persons, for
the work and materials. Mr. Barnabas Ham
mett was one of these, and in his affidavit of
defense, he takes the grouod that property bav
Jrjr l-'ii-n tsxed for one pavement, it ''an'i it M
taxed for a second one, and that the act is
hccnklUulloial a cwpon aring CwibciU to Ux
tec preperty owners on the street only, for what
was to ba a pnbile benefit.
Judgment was entered against Mr. Hamraett
for want of a sufficient affidavit of defense, and
to that Judgment a writ ef error was taken to
the Enfrenie Court. The opinion of the Su
preme Court was delivered by Bharswood J.,
Read J. dissenting, and it decides simply that
local assessments are constitutional when im
posed for local improvements, clearly confer
ring special benefits on the properties assessed,
and to the extent of those benefits; and that the
Act of March 23, 1866, "so far as it authorizes
the Councils of the city of Philadelphia 'to
enact inch ordinances or resolutions as
may require the cost of said improvements to
be paid for by the owners of property abutting
on said street,' " is unconstitutional and void.
If the owners of ground fronting en Broad
street, between the points once paved at the
cost of their ground, had paid for the laving of
the Nicolson pavement, then the act of I860
created a contract betwetn them and the Com
monwealth which no subsequent legislation
could defeat; but if they are released by this
decision from their obligation, and avail them
selves thereof, they occupy the same relation to
the act of 1800 as any other citizen, and the
power of the Legislature Is unaffected; in whieh
care it would be unnecessary to consider what
would be the powers of the commission, if the
owrtrs bad planted themselves upon the Invio
lability of a contract by payment.
But it may be contended that the contract
still subsists, many of the property holders hav
ing paid their proportion of lite afsessments, or
as the act of 18(10 is not repealed by subsequent
legislation, the erection of public buildings at
the intersection is such an obstruction as the
act ( lbC6 purposes to permanently avoid.
TLe prohibition extends to "any railroad or
railway tracks, or other ob-tractions prejudicial
to the t es and purposes aforesaid." The speci
fic prohibitions are against railroads and railway
tracks; then follows the general expression "or
other obstructions;" but according to a well
established rule in the construction of statutes,
general terms, following; particular oae, apply
oiily to such persons or things as are ejusdeni
gtnerii with those comprehended in the Ian-
fjnage of the Legislature. I am ot opin
on that public buildings are not
obstructions "of the same kind"
as railroads or railway tracks; nor are they, in
my opinion, obstructions within the meaning of
the act which are "prejudicial to the uses and
purposes of a public drive, carriage way. street.
or avenue." Your act authorizes you to modify
the line of Broad street at Its intersection witk
Market street, and if yon do this it eomnils
you to make Broad street one hundred feet
wide on the east ana west ot the building,
which is in reality widening Broad street nearly
110 leet at this point.
It cannot be tepposed that those reasonable
changes in the alignment of the street which
the State or the city, as trustees of the highway.
may deem promotive of the comfort and coq-
Tcnierco oi ihe citizens, are precluded by the
act of ISfSfi; on the contrary that act must be in
terpreted with reference to the existence of
those powers.
l am, therefore, oi opinion:
1. That you have a clear right to ercet one or
more buildings npon the four enclosures
bounded by Gilbert, dumper and Merrick streets.
and South Penn Square.
2. 1 bat you have a clear right to erect at the
intersection of Broad and Market streets, and to
vacate any portion of said streets neoesury to
that pnrpose, provided you maintain a street
1 (JO teet wide around an sides oi tald buildings.
3. That the aet oi March zaa, isoo, does not.
in any way, restrict your right to build at the
intersection of Broad and Market streets, pro
vided as aioresaio, ana
4. That the act of August 5th, 1870, rather
favors and Indicates the erection at the intersec
tion of Broad and Market streets than other
wise.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, Chaulbb H. T. Collis,
(solicitor Building commission.
Fmi.A DELPHI a, November 10. 1870. Hon.
F. IC. Brewster-My Dear Sir: -Will you be
rood euough to examine the enclosed opinion
of General Collis, and say whether or not you
concur with him as to the right of the Building
Commission to erect the public buildings at
the intersection of Broad street with Market
street.
1 should be glad also to have the opinion of
Messrs. William B. Mann and William M. Mere
dith upon the same subject.
verytruij yours, john kicb.
PniLADELrniA, November 14, 1870 John
Rice, Esq. Dear Sir: We have received your
note ot the luth inst., ana nave carefully con
sidered Mr. Collis' opinion npon the question
which you have snbmitted to us.
v e concur with him in the conclusion that
tie Act of August 6th. 1870. authorizes the
commission for the erection of publie build
ings to erect the same on the central portion of
Penn Square, covering the intersection of Broad
and Market Etreets.
Very respectfully, yours,

At four o'clock the special order, the ordinance

Mr. liardsley said the rate of tl 80 would
be sufficient to meet the expenses of the city
government for tho next year, and leave a balan so
Milium!. For the vcar 1870 the amount estimated
to be rait ed by taxation was Sf ,:84.('i(!2, and tbe rate
wss fixed atSfl 80, netting RS.UUri, 971, more than
f3i!0,(uu short of tha amount required for tho esti
mated expenses. During tho year thu current ex
pedites of tbe city were paid, aud tho floating debt
decreased 5(10,000. The amount estimated by the
( itv Controller to be raieed for tbe vear 1X71 Is
f ,i;22,740. The sum actually raised will be $8,279,
(40; leaving a surplus of 8410. 3n;i. liwt year, at
this date, the amount required and the amiunt
assessed showed a balance xgainst the city of J08,
CC0. This year, with tbe rte at St 80, we will re
ceive $410,3('9 more than what tha estimates call
lor. 'Ibe Delinquent Tax Collector will collect
during the ensuing year about 1,600,000 f 1,OOJ,0!0
mere tban the amount estimated.
Mr. liardsley considered that the finances of the
city at tbe end of next year would ba in a mucit
better condition than they had been since consoli
dation. Mr. Hetzell said the year 1S76 wai started with a
deficiency of S631.UI8 ii8, which had been Increased
by special appropriations to 672 488 04. The
speaker rifiie.uled tbe idea that tbe caVi in th
treasury on November t of tills year would be m k'lo
to adert tbe increased liabilities, when the Con
troller bad already included that amount (ftl.IMQ,
lni 10) among the assets of tlio city for 1S71. Tho
Controller says that the sum of 8,97i,8l:) 43 must
be collected by taxes. The tax rat!, said Mr. Uut
zelt, as proponed by this bill, will yield 29:,69J 17
less than that sum if every dollar of it la collected.
Since the 7th cf November already about $17.1,0(0
of special appropriations have passed or are ab iut
to pats. Tbe paid tire department will require half
a million of dollars a sum not provided for in tbe
estimates.
General Wagner and Mr. Willlts favored the rate
as proposed. .
Tbe bill was then read by sections and acted
npon.
After some further discussion the bill was pissed.
The bill huthorizine thu laving of a water main
from Mount Airy tu (jeruiantown was taken up. It
nau ueen passed iy soiect council, nut oommori
Council made certain nmenduisuU in which Select
Erauch refused to concur.
Mr. Bardsley moved not to recede, as a special
Appropriation would be called for and money taken
out of tbe treasury before a loan was ere itnd.
Dr. Gilbert moved that Common Council rcceda
from its amendments. Agreed to yeas 21, nays Hi.
wr, uenrif r asaea leave to record uis voca on tne
Paid Fire Department bill, saying that he was un
avoidably detained from attending tbe meeting on

on tbe niensnre.
Mr. H. Hubn called up tho ordinance malting an
appropriation of $S4U,318 f(i, to defray tha expanses
ol the Police Department fur tlm year 1671.
'ibe Chamber then resolved lt'elt into U.immittee

The cilices of Chief of I'ollce and UUlof of f he

Amhorlinllve Wtatrment of Tbelr Retntloaa.
Washington, Kov. 80. The following is known no
be the exact version of the Graut-Schurz affair cur
rent among General Scliurz's most Intiuia e rrleuds,
as wen as among otners certain to Da oorreaiy in
formed: Senator Schurz, before his arrival in Washing
ton, saw In the newspapers tne letter woicti the
1'resuient wrote to collector f cru concerning tne
former's course in Missouri, ane seat a nute to the
I'resideut, accompanied iy a cony oi tno
President's letter, saylur at the same time that
he supposed that some part which wotiU greatly
modify it must have been omitted In the pub
lished version. He also asked an exjilonatio i. Tills
letter the rresident never answered, un Tuesday,
the lftth lust, klr. Schurz arrived la Waiiuugton,
aud spent tue day lu a'r iuui his nous, hold
ailatra. On Wednesday morning a local iuuruul an
nounced the Senator's arrival, and added ed toria ly
mat ne aia not pay i is respeots to in rresiuem.
On Thursday, the 17th iumant, Mr. Schurz went
to the White House, and sent hi card to trte Prerl
dent. A delegation of Ousters was at the time
waiting to see the Presideur, aud while Mr. Schurz
was waiting there they were shown n, coutrarr, he
says, to all usage. Tbe I'resideut then suit w rt to
tbe Senator that he was very busily eugaged on a
revenue esse ; that he should have oi ti.-r such eases
to attend to that day, and that, h e could nt see
him. The Senator lias uot since been to tie Wuite
House. Ills friends have no doubt that he will, In
the course f some personal explanation or oiher
w ise, bring the matter to the attention of the Senate
scon alter tne meeting oi congress.
Mr. Schurz ta verv eiunbatic in his repudiation of
any movement which looks to tha formation of a
nw party. He has been a ueunmican irom tse oe-
ginning, and whatever may happen, a Republican he
will continue to be. Mr. Kaufinann, late Republi
can candidate for Lieutenant-Governor of New
York, was here lost week and called upon the Pre

Russia, Bismarck is favorable to England's obtain
ing a protectorate over the Suez canal, in consider
ation of which, England's own road to India being
